<p>...How detrimental is it to your chances in admissions?</p>
<p>As in, I got a 2160:
CR - 690 (ARGH)
Math - 730 (UGH)
Writing - 740 (meh).</p>
<p>Now, I'm retaking in January, and will prepare more wholeheartedly; I've confidance (arrogant as it is) that I am capable of breaking 2250. However, this is quite an unwelcome blemish on my record, and I'm worried as to how this may affect consideration towards my application.</p>
<p>VEXED!</p>
<p>C'mon , you scored good marks. I thought I was going to break the 2300 mark but I got a 2130. 2160 is around 98th percentile , so i don't think you'll have to worry. This was my first time too.</p>
<p>hahahah '98th percentile is good enough'</p>
<p>275,349 tests last year are in the 98th percentile.</p>
<p>Is 98th percentile bad? o.O Because I think that's where I am too -_-</p>
<p>It's not bad. It's pretty good. It won't impress adcoms at top schools, but really neither would perfect scores.
Those scores are a bit low for really top schools (only CR, really) but they are pretty good.</p>
<p>By the way, where did the 275349 figure came from? That would mean 13.7M people taking the SAT, which I believe it a bit too much to be true... you know, around 20% of US population taking it doesn't seem right. (Yes, I know international students take it too, but still...)</p>
<p>Meant to say 5%... but still...</p>
<p>Also I remember someone posting the collegeboard number of people scoring table.. it was for this last year and it had so much info. i wish someone posted it again.</p>
<p>you fuqed, no really, you screwed up real bad.
GAWD.
I guess you'll be joining the rest of the failures in your school in McD.</p>
<p>2150 is a very good score. Be content.</p>
<p>2150 is a great score. Dont know why you arent happy. Its not like omg</p>
<p>only a 2150! Auto reject! Seriously, 2150 your first time is great</p>
<p>the only good percentile is +99% (jk)</p>
<p>Oops. You're right, divide my number by 10 (I multiplied by .2 instead of .02)</p>
